Alessandra Cleveland

I want to help others to identify development issues within the brain and understand why people think, feel, and act the way they do.

I haven’t taken a psychology class yet, but I’m really excited to start one next semester. Over the past year, I’ve gotten really interested in mental health by watching documentaries and shows that talk about things like trauma, anxiety, and addiction. It made me realize how important it is to understand what people go through and how their minds work. I don’t know exactly what area I want to focus on yet, but forensic psychology really interests me, especially how psychology connects with crime and the justice system. I want to learn more so I can hopefully help people in the future who are struggling with mental health.

I like to sew, crochet, practice regularly for 2-3 hours each day for riflery, read, try new foods, read and listen documentaries, and listen to a variety of podcasts!
